So, don't look at this as a feature request, rather, an idea for improvement on something that's already being developed. I recently encoded some video for my friend's phone. It plays 3GP files. The file I encoded was about 3 minutes long; about 3-4 MB. That's really good; the video looked fine and there was not one artifact in the sound or video. And the encoder for 3GP is part of mplayer, I believe; I have a freeware tool that is just a frontend for a bunch of free encoders that could do 3GP. And it is already used in embedded devices. So why not? Does it sound like 3GP would be a good format? I understand MPEGs can get huge fast, but at a little over a meg a minute in 3GP format, quite a few full-length movies could be stored on the nano. I'd be willing to help, but I know almost nothing about the current video setup in Rockbox. And I got more confused when I saw previously written plugins that used the frame buffer; I don't understand the format. Just wanted to mention it. Jacob -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
